[Sigia-l] Long scrolling pages and Usability

[James Spahr]

I had similar questions back in July while doing some personal 
research. A kind IA (Chris Tung) responded to this question with the 
following URLs:

Effects on scanning search results

I wish I could summarize for you, but I'm embarrassed to say that I 
have not had a chance to review the research.

My question was less about the overall usability and more about which 
method produced better recall (I guess that would be a single usability 
metric).
